I am using Mac OS X Version 10.4.

I was wondering if there is a way to search the text of documents. I can search filenames, but I can't search the words inside the documents.

When I press Command-F (or go to File--> Find) there is an option called "Contents" but when I used it, it didn't work.

Is there a way to search the text of documents in Mac OS X?
